Hello, I cannot install Kaspersky Antivirus obviously because of missing klim6.sys file (Ativirus NDIS 6 filter). OS Win 10.
It seems to disturb installation. Previously I've never had such problems and don't know whether there has been this file (filter) on my PC before or not. The "full name" of this file is
The Problem occured after restting the PC to Defaults.
Need your help in this matter.
Reply: KLIM6 is a network traffic filtering driver that works on the NDIS layer. The reason for its installation failure is mainly related to the problem of the network adapter.
1. Enter Windows 10 Safe Mode, uninstall the previously installed kaspersky, restart the computer, and then open the Registry Editor ("Run" -- type "regedit") to find out if the following registry key exists (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\KLIM6), as shown below. If there is, please delete it, such as PCHunter.
2. Check the drive position indicated in the figure above. If it exists, delete it: C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\klim6.sys
3. Restart your computer
4. After restarting the computer, disconnect the network and install kaspersky. (Disconnect network: What does it mean? It is to disable "local link" (wired network card) and "wireless link" (wireless network card). If both are available, both network cards need to be disabled.
5. If the installation still has problems, extract the zip file KL_KLIM6_Drivers.rar to the C drive KL_KLIM6_Drivers folder.

Next, please try to install this klim6.sys manually according to the screenshot.
If there are no errors, please be patient. After the "Network Link" property window is restored, the klim6 driver will be installed successfully. There should be no more installation errors. If this error occurs, please follow the steps below to resolve.
Go to the C:\KL_KLIM6_Drivers\602 directory, then right-click on the klim6.inf file and select "Install". If there are no errors, the installation is successful.
Windows may have a bug that occurs when the driver with the same name is reinstalled while the installer has removed the driver file located in C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository during installing or uninstalling. Usually the installer will search for the inf file related to the product starting with oem in the INF folder. After discovery, it will try to uninstall it from the driver repository by the command pnputil.exe -d oem*.inf, but once it is uninstalled, It cannot be reinstalled unless the file name of the driver is completely changed. This phenomenon will only appear on the Windows 10 RS1 operating system, and not everyone will meet.
